Not so! All who submit themselves completely to Allah and are good-doers will find their reward with their Lord. They will feel no fear and will know no sorrow. (Sura al-Baqara, 112)
Some people who fail to give Allah due appreciation and thus are "ignorant" have interpreted religion in accordance with their distorted rationale and beliefs. In order to harbor such an aim it is essential to be someone who fears Allah and genuinely wants to attain His love and eternal friendship. Since Muslims possess such faith they regard moral virtues and taqwa (fear for Allah) as a most important religious obligation. The clarity of conscience bestowed by faith also reveals the details of moral virtues. Because greater detail and greater beauty are still possible in moral virtues in all circumstances. Muslims may be trustworthy, loyal, courageous, determined, modest and patient and may have a strong character. They may be resigned in the face of and capable of withstanding adversity. They may scrupulously avoid lying and sin and perform all their religious observances without exception. They may strive to preach the world and tell people about the moral values of the Qur'an. They may encourage Muslims to do good and avoid evil. But if they resort to crude methods in doing this, if they ignore the fine detail and pay no attention to courtesy, merely concentrating on their ultimate objective, this is a major deficiency.
Courtesy, kindness and consideration, calculating the future course of events, what may happen a few steps down the road and the possible positive or negative effect on people, being tolerant, agreeable, forgiving, affectionate and compassionate and overcoming earthly desires for the sake of the other party's good and comfort are all very important. The behavior most compatible with the moral values of the Qur'an is to approach people who behave immaturely with maturity, and to respond to rudeness with courtesy. To regard rudeness in the face of ignorance or discourtesy as legitimate, to respond to rudeness with discourtesy, shows that, no matter what excellent characteristics a believer may have, he still has deficiencies that need to be rectified.
One feature of a believer is that he knows how to weigh his words and resolve issues without demeaning the other party. It is the resolution of issues with love and affection and kindness, without inspiring tension in the other party, establishing a climate of tension or hurting people's feelings. Speaking in a soothing manner and with the finest words, behaving in the most rational and courteous manner and seeking above all else to honor the other party is a virtue entirely compatible with Allah's approval. But abandoning courtesy for the sake of ugly worldly promptings is behavior unbecoming a believer.

The first image from director David Fincher's upcoming Netflix series House of Cards is now online. The show is based on the British miniseries of the same name and stars Kevin Spacey as a "wily, murderous politician worming his way to the White House" in Washington D.C. Fincher is directing the pilot, and Netflix has committed to producing and airing two seasons of 13 episodes each that will stream through the subscription service. Fincher seems a perfect fit to tackle the dirty game of politics, and the series reteams him the director with Spacey and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo star Robin Wright. A specific airdate has yet to be announced, but the series is set to be unveiled sometime in 2013.
Hit the jump to check out the first image of Spacey and Wright in what the former calls, "[not] your daddy's West Wing."

Michielle Yong, July 18th , 2020.
In some dining rooms the area rug serves as a floor covering that feels good underfoot and is meant for function and not décor. While other dining rooms keep a simple table and chairs, and then have the area rug take command of the room. If you choose the more bold approach, choose a few colors from the carpet and bring them into the wall color and fabrics of the room. This will unite the room and keep it from looking too busy for the eye.
Tray ceilings are a contemporary architectural feature that have ended up in way too many traditional style homes. They try to fill our need for unique detail in our otherwise generic interiors. A tray ceiling, which is an inverted or recessed ceiling, creates the illusion of height. Depending on the type of wood and colors you choose, you can make the room look traditional, contemporary or even rustic. Wooden planks or reclaimed wood are great options for that rustic effect.

An Israeli military raid in the Jenin refugee camp late Wednesday, 18 December, was followed by a second incursion before dawn in Qalqilya, killing two Palestinians and wounding several others. While press reports differ, the incidents highlight the reality of Israeli military impunity in Palestinian-controlled towns and cities and threaten an escalation of violence that could undermine the peace talks currently underway between the Israeli government and the Palestinian Authority.
Events began late Wednesday when an undercover unit of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) entered the northern West Bank Jenin refugee camp in search of an alleged terror cell. When locals detected the undercover officers, armed clashes erupted, prompting upwards of two-dozen IDF reinforcement vehicles to storm the camp. Israeli forces shot dead 23-year-old Nafeh al-Saadi, a member of Islamic Jihad and allegedly one of two suspects wanted for arrest during the raid. Several other locals suffered gunshot wounds, including to the stomach and head. At least one of the injured was taken into Israeli custody. There were no reports of IDF injuries.
The Jenin camp has been the site of frequent Israeli raids and saw heavy fighting during the Second Intifada, including a notorious 2002 military operation, known as the Battle of Jenin, in which the camp was sealed off from international press while the IDF demolished numerous homes and killed at least 50 Palestinian fighters and civilians.
Wednesday's Jenin raid was followed in the predawn hours by a similar operation in a central neighborhood of the northwestern West Bank municipality of Qalqilya, in which Israeli forces shot dead 28-year old Palestinian security officer Saleh Yaseen. According to the Israeli daily Haaretz, the IDF was seeking to arrest local militants, including the victim of the raid, who allegedly fired on Israeli soldiers in two separate incidents over the past three months. While the IDF source claimed that Yaseen fired first during the Thursday morning incursion, locals claimed that the PA officer was ambushed while on his way home and had not initiated fire. There were no Israeli casualties.
Qalqilya is located just inside the Green Line dividing the West Bank from Israel and is encircled by the separation barrier except for a tunnel and narrow checkpoint controlled by the IDF.
Both Qalqilya and Jenin are major urban centers, located in "Area A" of the West Bank, the heavily populated regions in which the Palestinian Authority is meant to maintain civilian and security control under the terms of the Oslo Peace Accords of 1993 and 1995. Most of the remainder of the West Bank, and the majority of the territory, falls under Area C, under complete Israeli control, while Area B is divided between Palestinian and Israeli control.
Despite these artificial jurisdictions, the entire West Bank has been under Israeli military occupation since 1967. The separation barrier, constructed over the last decade, has been deemed illegal by the International Court of Justice for appropriating Palestinian lands east of the Green Line.
This week's deadly raids have been strongly condemned by the Palestinian Authority. According a spokesperson for President Mahmoud Abbas, "This dangerous Israeli escalation aims to thwart American and international efforts to move forward with the peace process, and aims to lead the negotiations to a dead end." The official added that, "the Israeli measures aimed to keep us locked in a circle of tensions and violence."
Speaking to Palestine Monitor on Thursday, Dr. Mustafa Barghouti, member of the Palestinian Legislative Council and Secretary General of the Palestinian National Initiative, condemned the incursions as "nothing but extra judicial killing, where Israel appoints itself as the prosecutor, the judge, and the executioner at the same time."
"This shows," he continued, "that the Palestinian Authority has no authority whatsoever, and that the Israeli army can come into any place whether it's Area A, B, or C, and kill people."
"And what happened also revealed very clearly that Israel is using negotiations as a cover for these acts of oppression, besides using it as a cover for expanding settlements."
The current round of negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority began in July under the auspices of U.S. mediation.
This week's attacks raise the total number of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces this year to 27, the majority of which were killed since negotiations began. Four Israelis have been killed by Palestinians in 2013.

Richard Allen Davis must surely be pleased with California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
Scott Peterson and Rodney Alca also can be expected to shout their own huzzahs.
The California governor is expected to issue a moratorium on the executions of the 737 men and women residing on death row, the nation's largest.
U.S. President Donald Trump quickly tweeted his displeasure at Newsom's decision regarding the "737 stone cold killers."
He tweeted: "Friends and families of the always forgotten VICTIMS are not thrilled, and neither am I!"
One of the demented killers Newsom plans on giving the free pass to is Davis, 64, one of the worst of the worst.
On Oct. 1, 1993 Davis kidnapped 12-year-old Polly Klaas from her southern California home. He raped and murdered the helpless child and in court claimed the girl's father was a child molester.
It was Davis who inspired California's "three strikes law" for repeat offenders.
How bad is Davis? Judge Thomas C. Hastings said sending him to death row was a pleasure.
"Mr. Davis, this is always a traumatic and emotional decision for a judge. You made it very easy today by your conduct," Hastings told him.
But Newsom has called the death penalty a costly "failure" that discriminates against the mentally ill, minorities and the poor.
He also worries the wrongly convicted could end up getting the needle.
However, that hasn't been much of a problem for California since the state has not executed anyone since 2006 when Arnold Schwarzenegger was governor.
"The intentional killing of another person is wrong and as governor, I will not oversee the execution of any individual," Newsom said in prepared remarks, adding the ultimate penalty "has discriminated against defendants who are mentally ill, black and brown, or can't afford expensive legal representation."
No condemned inmate faces imminent death.
But the death penalty is expensive (US$5 billion in California since 1978) and one of every four death row inmates in the U.S. are in the Golden State.
The left-leaning politician quickly came under fire, not just from Trump, but also from law enforcement and the legal community.
"(Newsom) is usurping the express will of California voters and substituting his personal preferences via this hasty and ill-considered moratorium on the death penalty," said Michele Hanisee, president of the Association of Deputy (Los Angeles County) District Attorneys.
Aides say that none of the condemned men or women will ever be eligible for early parole.
Age and natural causes seem to have been a more effective death penalty in California: 79 death row habitants have died of natural causes since 1978, another 26 killed themselves.

The U.S. Department of Education does not accredit educational institutions and/or programs.
However, the Secretary of Education is required by law to publish a list
of nationally recognized accrediting agencies that the Secretary determines to be reliable authorities as to the quality of education or training provided by the
institutions of higher education and the higher education programs they accredit.
The U.S. Secretary of Education also recognizes State agencies for the approval of public postsecondary vocational education and nurse education.
Please note, the Secretary of Education's recognition of accrediting agencies is limited by statute to accreditation activities
within the United States
. Although many recognized agencies carry out accrediting activities outside the United States, these actions are not within the legal authority of the Department of Education to recognize, are not reviewed by the Department, and the Department does not exercise any oversight over them. (Consequently, institutions and programs outside the United States that are accredited by recognized agencies are not included in this database.)
The goal of accreditation is to ensure that education provided by institutions of higher education meets acceptable levels of quality. Accrediting agencies, which are private educational associations of regional or national scope, develop evaluation criteria and conduct peer evaluations to assess whether or not those criteria are met. Institutions and/or programs that request an agency's evaluation and that meet an agency's criteria are then "accredited" by that agency.
For more information on accreditation in the United States, please visit:
The Database of Accredited Postsecondary Institutions and Programs is compiled entirely from publicly available information reported to the U.S. Department of Education by recognized accrediting agencies and state approval agencies that have been asked to provide information for each institution and/or program accredited by that agency. This reported information is not audited. The database is updated to reflect additional information as it is received from recognized accrediting agencies and state approval agencies but the Department makes no guarantee that the database will be updated immediately upon receipt of such information.
The U.S. Department of Education cannot, therefore, guarantee that the information contained in the database is accurate, current, or complete
. For the most accurate and current information, contact the appropriate agency.

AUGUSTA - Mercedes-Benz has upgraded its corporate involvement at the Masters by becoming one of three global sponsors, allowing the German-based automaker to air television ads during the limited commercial space in domestic telecasts.
Augusta National chairman Billy Payne said Tuesday that Mercedes-Benz will join AT&T and IBM as the tournament's three main sponsors.
Mercedes replaces ExxonMobil, which had been a global sponsor since 2005.
The Masters kept its total sponsorship to five companies - three global sponsors and two international partners. Mercedes had been a
partner since 2008 until elevating its sponsorship status. Payne said UPS has signed on
as the other partner, joining Rolex.
"The Masters is the most prestigious golf tournament in the world. It is a great honor for Mercedes-Benz to now be associated with the Masters Tournament as one of the three global sponsors," said Joachim Schmidt, the company's executive vice president of sales and marketing.
Terms of the agreements were not disclosed.
Unlike other tournaments, sponsors of the Masters do not use logos anywhere on the golf course. Some of the client entertainment takes place in permanent chalets tucked well behind the trees left of the 10th fairway.
The Masters went two years without corporate sponsors during the initial dispute
in 2003 over all-male membership.
The tournament was commercial-free for two years, with the club picking up the tab for the broadcast fees.
Sponsorship returned in 2005 with AT&T, IBM and ExxonMobil as the main three.
The Masters only has four minutes of commercials for every hour.
Last fall, Augusta National accepted its first two female members, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and South Carolina financier Darla Moore. Both were at the Masters this month in their green jackets.
"The relationships we form are important to our commitment of continuous improvement, and we sincerely appreciate the longtime assistance and enthusiasm of ExxonMobil for their support," Payne said. "We now look forward to growing our associations with Mercedes-Benz and UPS, two globally recognized brands that also share a passion for the Masters and the tournament's sustained success."
ExxonMobil did not say why its sponsorship of the Masters ended.
"ExxonMobil has concluded its advertising sponsorship of the Masters tournament after nine successful years," spokesman Alan Jeffers said in an email. "ExxonMobil continually evaluates and modifies our sponsorship and advertising requirements based on business needs."
Mercedes-Benz has been active in sports sponsorship since the 1980s. It shifted its marketing strategy in recent years, ending its title sponsorship of the season opener in Kapalua and signing deals to become the official car of the PGA Championship and to become an international partner with the Masters.
Adam Scott became the first Australian to win the Masters this year. He already had a sponsorship deal with Mercedes.

CHICAGO – In children and adolescents with hemophilia, vigorous physical activity was associated with an elevated risk of bleeding, although it appears the absolute increase in risk may be small, according to a study in the October 10 issue of JAMA.
Hemophilia is a bleeding disorder that, if untreated, causes recurrent bleeding into joints. "Vigorous physical activity is thought to increase risk of bleeds in children with hemophilia, but the magnitude of the risk is unknown," according to background information in the article. Information about risks associated with physical activity is needed to help inform decisions regarding participation in physical activity, the authors write.
Carolyn R. Broderick, M.B.B.S., of the University of Sydney, Australia and colleagues conducted a study to quantify the transient (short duration) increase in risk of bleeding associated with vigorous physical activity in children with hemophilia. The study was conducted at three pediatric hemophilia centers in Australia between July 2008 and October 2010 and included 104 children and adolescent boys ages 4 through 18 years with moderate or severe hemophilia A or B who were monitored for bleeds for up to 1 year. Following each bleed, the child or parent was interviewed to determine exposures to physical activity preceding the bleed. Physical activity was categorized according to expected frequency and severity of collisions. The risk of bleeds associated with physical activity was estimated by contrasting exposure to physical activity in the 8 hours before the bleed with exposures in two 8-hour control (non-bleed) windows, controlling for levels of clotting factor in the blood. The median (midpoint) duration of follow-up was 52 weeks.
There were 436 bleeds, of which 336 were study bleeds (i.e., bleeding episodes without another bleeding episode in the preceding 2 weeks). Eighty-eight participants (84 percent) reported at least 1 bleed. The most frequent sites of bleeding were the knee (15 percent), ankle (14 percent), and elbow (10 percent). Compared with inactivity and category 1 activities (e.g., swimming), category 2 activities (e.g., basketball) were associated with a transient increase in the risk of bleeding (30.6 percent of bleed windows vs. 24.8 percent of first control windows; odds ratio, 2.7). Category 3 activities (e.g., wrestling) were associated with a greater transient increase in risk (7.0 percent of bleed windows vs. 3.4 percent of first control windows; odds ratio, 3.7). These odds of bleeding suggest that for most children, the absolute increase in risk associated with physical activity is low. "To illustrate absolute risk increase, for a child who bleeds 5 times annually and is exposed on average to category 2 activities twice weekly and to category 3 activities once weekly, exposure to these activities was associated with only 1 of the 5 annual bleeds," the authors write. Most bleeds associated with physical activity were present within an hour of activity.
"This study confirms that physical activity is associated with an increased risk of bleeds in children and adolescents with moderate or severe hemophilia A or B. It demonstrates that the relative increase in risk is moderate. However, for most children, the absolute increase in risk is likely to be low," the researchers conclude.

Editorial: Collision Sports and Risk of Bleeding in Children With Hemophilia
Marilyn J. Manco-Johnson, M.D., of the University of Colorado and Children's Hospital Colorado, Aurora, writes in an accompanying editorial that participation in sports can be important to help reduce the sense of isolation experienced by many children with hemophilia, and that "guidelines focused on children with hemophilia and participation in collision sports are needed."

VANCOUVER – The Federal Court will hear a challenge brought by two unions of a federal government decision to grant temporary foreign work permits for a northern B.C. coal mine.
The unions are seeking a judicial review of approximately 200 temporary foreign worker permits granted to HD Mining International for its Murray River mine near Tumbler Ridge, B.C.
Lawyers for the company and the federal Immigration and Human Resources departments sought to have the application dismissed.
Judge Douglas Campbell declined, noting in his decision Thursday there is a public interest in the case.
"I note that presently there is almost no knowledge of the contents of the (labour market opinions) in question, nor is there a method in the present circumstances by which their production can be ordered without granting the applicants standing in these proceedings," Campbell wrote.
The International Union of Operating Engineers Local 115 and the Construction and Specialized Workers Union Local 1611 say the company offered wages that were $10 to $17 an hour lower than the going rates at similar mines, and without benefits.
They claim the mine also had advertisements that required workers speak Mandarin — a claim the company denies.
The unions want to see the labour market opinions rendered by Human Resources and Skills Development Canada. The opinions, which are intended to determine whether there's a labour shortage in a particular job, formed the basis for the successful permit applications. The Crown opposed providing those documents, even on a confidential basis.
"I don't know why they were fighting us so hard and why they wouldn't give us the documents earlier," said Charles Gordon, the lawyer for the unions.
"If the process was followed, as the companies have claimed, then it's hard to see what harm there could be from producing the documents when we asked for them. And if the process was followed properly, this whole thing would disappear."
Brian Cochrane, business manager of the Operating Engineers union, said Thursday's victory is only the first step.
"We've just hit first base today and now it's time to move on and hopefully we get the production of documents necessary," he said outside court.
Seventeen workers have already arrived and another 60 workers are scheduled to come in mid-December. The judge urged the parties to come to some agreement in place of an injunction from the court against the arrivals next month.
The United Steelworkers Union filed a separate complaint Thursday with the provincial mines ministry and the mine inspector over the safety conditions facing the workers at the mine.
In a letter to Mines Minister Rich Coleman, the union said the Chinese workers hired by HD Mining don't speak English well enough to understand and comply with hundreds of pages worth of health and safety rules.
Nor do they understand their rights in Canada, they said.
"Inserting a foreign national without English language fluency into such a maze of overlapping and precise safety requirements is a recipe for disaster," the letter said.
The union asked the minister to ensure English language competency and verify the workers' training and skills. Until that is done, they want the province to suspend work at the mine.
A ministry spokesperson said no work has begun at the mine, which is still under environmental assessment and has not yet received regulatory approval.
"Work must begin before the ministry can inspect the site to determine compliance under the act," the spokesperson said in an email response to questions.
The company is required to follow all health and safety standards, they said.
HD Mining is a partnership between China-based Huiyong Holding Group, which owns a 55 per cent stake, and Canadian Dehua International Mines Group Inc.
The federal minister of Human Resources and Skills Development, Diane Finley, cited the B.C. mine in announcing a review of the entire temporary foreign worker process earlier this month.
The B.C. Employment Standards Branch is also investigating allegations that recruiters in China demanded illegal fees from the temporary workers — allegations HD Mining has denied.

Tiny dust particles and droplets suspended in the atmosphere have a definite influence on our climate, but we are a long way from defining precisely the role that aerosols play. That they do have an effect was established more than a decade ago.
Volcanic dust
Mount Pinatubo devastated the Philippines when it erupted in 1991, forcing half a million people from their homes. The largest eruption for a century, its wider effects was felt across the world. It shot 20 million tonnes of volcanic ash particles and sulphur dioxide droplets high into the stratosphere.
This mass of aerosols stayed circling the globe for three weeks – and temporarily reversed the effects of global warming. The aerosol cloud reflected and scattered incoming solar radiation, with the long term result that the Earth's surface cooled by an average of half a centigrade during 1992.
This incident highlighted another fact about atmospheric aerosols – their normal background levels have been increasing steadily over time, with uncertain results.
Aerosol loading
The majority of aerosols reach the atmosphere by natural means – salt condensed from ocean waters, fine sand from desert dust storms, ice crystals over the poles and ash from fires as well as eruptions – but human activities account for 10% of global aerosol loading, mostly concentrated in the Northern Hemisphere.
Black carbon and sulphur dioxide are spewed from 'dirty' power stations and industrial smoke stacks while hydrocarbons are emitted from car exhausts and stratospheric vapour crystals from aircraft engines.
Modelling climate
Aerosols are largely absent from current climate models, and their effects are difficult to quantify. Many aerosols reflect sunlight, and so cool down the atmosphere immediately below them. But black carbon aerosols do just the opposite, acting to absorb heat energy.
Aerosols may play another indirect role in climate by 'seeding' new clouds, and changing the properties of existing ones, possibly making cloud droplets smaller and longer-lived, and clouds themselves more effective at reflecting solar radiation.
Iron-rich desert dust blown into the ocean can stimulate phytoplankton growth – and so increase the absorption of carbon dioxide – while particles blown onto an ice field can decrease its albedo and hasten its melting.
Aerosols in the atmosphere can also work as sites for chemical reactions to take place, most notably high in the stratosphere every Antarctic winter. Floating ice particles that form polar stratospheric clouds have reactions take place on their surfaces, liberating large amounts of chlorine to react with the ozone layer.
Satellite detection
Satellite-based atmospheric instruments can detect the spectral signatures of aerosols with sufficient wavelength coverage to determine their size distribution and concentration. Optical sensors such as Envisat's Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) can evaluate aerosol properties including optical thickness. And a future mission called EarthCARE (Earth Clouds, Aerosol and Radiation Explorer) intends to study aerosols' interaction with clouds.
Earth observation provides a global census of aerosol loads, following them through from their origins, their interaction with atmospheric components and the energy budget, and finally their deposition on the surface.

The American College announced Monday that it has added the Chartered Special Needs Consultant (ChSNC) designation to its curriculum and that on Jan. 1 it will launch a new Financial Services Certified Professional program.
The ChSNC designation includes three college-level courses and is intended to help advisors manage the emotional and financial complexities of planning for families who care for loved ones with special needs.
The Financial Services Certified Professional program — the successor to the LUTCF designation — "is the first stop for new and experienced advisors who want to refresh their practices," said Larry Barton, president of The American College, in the College's Connections newsletter.
While the program officially launches Jan. 1, advisors can begin courses that will provide credit toward the FSCP now.
Barton said an average of two new educational modules will be added to the program every quarter "in 2014 and beyond, tapping the best experts across a variety of relevant, critical topics."
Such topics, he said, include:
- More information about the Affordable Care Act
- How advisors can leverage social media to grow their practices
- Forthcoming statutory changes that can impact clients
- How to counsel clients on divorce planning.
Thomas Brinker, JD, one of the contributors to the ChSNC program, said in a release that the program offers the practitioner "a unique perspective into the emotional, legal, financial and tax implications of working with a family with a special-needs child."
The first two courses in the curriculum, he said, deal with approaches to long-term disabilities and the legal and financial issues special-needs families face. The third course is a Web-based "capstone course that uses case studies and extensive examples to help advisors become more effective planners in this important area."
ChSNC designees "will be equipped with the specialized skills needed to help parents and caregivers plan for the future with honesty, ethics and compassion," Brinker said.
Included in the curriculum is practical information on the tax deductions, health care issues, Medicaid complexities and the emotional aspects of planning a secure future for special-needs families.

Gaza media center hit by Israeli missile strike: Reuters: Israeli aircraft hit two Gaza media buildings on Sunday, wounding eight journalists and drawing concern from press covering the fighting between Palestinian militants and the Jewish state. The Israeli military said the attacks were pinpoint strikes on Hamas communication devices located on the buildings' roofs, and accused the Islamist group of using reporters as human shields to try and protect their operations.
Sen. John McCain, who tried to politicize the Benghazi consulate attack by going after U.N. ambassador Susan Rice, suggested that President Obama send former president Bill Clinton to the region to lead cease fire talks between the Israelis and the Palestinians. He appeared on CBS's "Face the Nation," saying "We need a person of enormous prestige and influence to have these parties sit down together as an honest broker."

Showing on both women's and menswear day, the latter saw a 90s feel with loose cardigans and chunky knits
Another designer on the schedule showing as part of both the women's shows and on menswear day, James Long came through with a collection of menswear and knitwear that added a luxe grunge feel. Heavy, wrap around full length coats were a strong feature of the show accompanied by mohair, open knit and huge chunky knit jumpers. Floor length cardigans added in that almost 90s Seattle feel which was complemented with the detailed biker jackets, something that has been across both his menswear and women's shows this season.
Another signifier of what could have been sub culture influences was the appearance of bleached and stone washed denim in fitted jeans. Colours were muted and soft but not cold. Lighter greys and blues appeared throughout, contrasted with paste yellows and cream. Lavender also made an appearance and sat perfectly with the misty and subdued tones.
Dazed Digital: What was your theme for the menswear?
James Long: This season I wanted a kind of polluted mayhem collection. I wanted a lot of fabrics to appear as if you were looking at them through fog. I wanted the boy to be Vincent Gallow as a grizzly bear. Lots of raining inspired me and the rain drops are where all the spots came from and also the paint falling down the shirts. I felt like it was very much more inspired by London as well this season, as for the last collection I was spending a lot of time in New York. I also wanted something heavier with the shapes, I wanted to get a bigger silhouette shape in the knitwear and then a more tailored one on the outerwear.
DD: Where did the ideas come from to do those huge, all encompassing jackets?
James Long: It was kind of imagery I had been thinking about. An idea of being in a forest and wanting to wrap yourself up, to protect yourself. And you just want to feel strong. I also really wanted to reinterpret some menswear classics. There was the James Long pea coat with the exaggerated collar and boning, just to give a feeling of a slightly more grown up guy. I also did a coat where the sides were opened up so you could your knit and tailoring.
DD: Did you work with any new techniques?
James Long: I looked at a lot of techniques of tailoring and then a lot of the fabrics were actually double faced wools. I didn't want it to look too smart, more a kind of answer to smart but not a suit.
DD: Can you tell me about the high gloss black silver trousers?
James Long: They were inspired by the idea of rain falling on tarmac. We did a perforated leather against a patent and that is what made up the fabric of those trousers. If you look close you can see that the gloss comes through from the perforations.

Ryan Reynolds compares Hal Jordan to sci-fi's most iconic rogue, while Blake Lively wants to play the villain. Roberto Orci says fan feedback is going into the Star Trek sequel. Plus has The Hunger Games found its male leads?
Spoilers from here on out!
Top image from Green Lantern.
Green Lantern
Producer Donald De Line explains that the recently premiered footage represents the most finished parts of the movie:
"Honestly, this is the stuff that's the most finished so far. We have so many visual effects shots that are still outstanding that we've been really up against the wall, we're racing to get the movie out June 17th, plus we're converting to 3D. So really what we're showing you is the stuff that are sequences that would hang together the most with the visual effects we have finished right now. So we have awesome stuff coming, we just didn't have it ready to show. So this is really a good representation of what we had ready."
He also explained the evolution of the movie's main villain Parallax:
"It's a really interesting thing because Parallax is a creature who feeds on fear, and he sucks the fear out and the fearful souls out of beings, whether they're human beings or alien creatures. So he's kinda this amalgamation of all these horrible terrified souls that he consumes, so it's almost like a living Dante's Inferno if you will. And that's a really complicated, bit of a heady kind of concept and the artists and the CG animators we have worked on it for months and months and months and we just started seeing finished shots, so we would have artwork that was supposed to represent it, but we really didn't have the shots. And then finally it was this giant release, it was like three weeks ago and we got our first Parallax shot and it was like 'Ah!' we were so excited about it and we thought it worked so well. But it was a nail biter, you know you have to go on a lot of faith."
He also confirmed that Michael Clarke Duncan is under serious consideration for Kilowog, but no final decision has been made. There's a lot more at the link. [Collider]
Blake Lively explains the fun of tapping into Carol Ferris's dark side and the possibility of playing Star Sapphire in an upcoming movie:
"Keeping in mind the fact that she becomes a villain, you have to have those kinds of teeth apparent in the beginning so that it makes sense that her arc goes there. There were a lot of different levels to play with her, and I really appreciated not just being the damsel-in-distress. If this movie is successful and we do a few more films, I'm pretty confident that Star Sapphire would show up. All the conversations are very guarded and protected, even with [the actors] because nobody wants to commit to anything, but I can't see Star Sapphire not showing up if we made more films."
Lively also confirmed there aren't any flashbacks to Carol and Hal's shared past, although it appears all that backstory is still a part of the movie's continuity:
What you don't see [in this film] is when they're kids. They're each other's first loves. Where the movie picks up, they're ex-lovers. So there is that tension - that rivalry - but also that love. They're each other's soulmates."
Star Trek 2
Co-writer Roberto Orci wouldn't go into too many logistical details - the script still isn't done, and J.J. Abrams still hasn't decided whether to direct - but he did talk openly about what they learned from the first movie and how they plan to expand on it:
I think we get to be a little bit more daring with the theme. The first one… was kind of Star Trek Zero – how did it all start? Now, they're all together from the beginning, and so now they're all going to face I think a theme that is different and potentially more challenging than just they met and they're kind of facing this force of nature in Nero. So the theme of their family is going to be something great to explore that you don't get in the first movie.
He also acknowledged that Kirk did become a captain at an improbably young age, and that there was significant fan backlash against the use of a brewery for the Enterprise's engineering. He didn't say whether anything would be done about these issues, but he suggested the sequel might at least slyly acknowledge these faults. There are more details at the link. [TrekMovie]
Elsewhere, Orci continued to stress that he is incorporating fan feedback into this creative process:
"I do see what fans think online, very much in Star Trek, it is a sequel that you can genuinely say that the fans are consultants on. Now they're caught up with us, they know exactly what the first movie was, and any one of them could go out now and generate a couple of story ideas for what this could be. So it's a fun guessing game, and you do get to incorporate some of the complaints; you cannot just answer them, but voice them in the movie. I enjoy that – I enjoy seeing what people say, even if it's super nasty."
Iron Man 3
Drew Pearce, the creator of the British superhero comedy No Heroics and the writer of Marvel's Runaways movie, is reportedly writing the screenplay for Iron Man 3. According to rumor, Pearce is starting all over again and junking the previous drafts. He will also reportedly be working closely with director Shane Black, who is himself one of the most successful screenwriters in movie history. [Deadline]
Former director Jon Favreau addressed whether he would reprise his role as Happy Hogan in the third movie. He offered no definitive answer, but he seemed very positive on the subject:
"Yeah, look. I love Shane Black. I'm not familiar with the work of the other writer that the just hired [Drew Pearce], but I'm really grateful for the opportunities that I had with Marvel. I can't wait. I would do anything. I love that franchise and I love those guys."
The Hunger Games
Two names have reportedly emerged as frontrunners for the male leads: Liam Hemsworth, the younger brother of Thor star Chris Hemsworth, is reportedly in line for Gale, while Journey to the Center of the Earth's Josh Hutcherson is reportedly up for Peeta. However, even the original report says no formal offers have been made, so definitely don't consider this even remotely confirmed just yet. [Deadline]
Dark Shadows
Kick-Ass and Let Me In actress Chloe Moretz will reportedly play Carolyn, the daughter of Michelle Pfeiffer's Elizabeth Collins Stoddard. [Deadline]
Meanwhile The Loved Ones child actor Gulliver McGrath is reportedly playing David Collins, the son of Roger Collins - rumored to be played by Michael Sheen - and nephew Pfeiffer's Elizabeth. [Deadline]
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II
Producer David Barron discusses the epilogue:
"We're expressing it through our three principle characters, who obviously have had a terrible time in many respects. Because they have been fighting Voldemort for longer than we can remember, and came close to death, you'll see the state of the school at the end. It was not an easy battle. As countries, as nations do, as cultures do, they recover and they renew and life carries on. It is about renewal. It's not long. It's about two ... a couple of minutes," Barron said of the epilogue's length. "It's long enough to tell its story. We like it. We think it works well, and it does leave you feeling a bit [emotional]."
Logan's Run
Tales From The Gangster Squad writer Will Beall, who has also written for ABC's Castle, is reportedly writing the screenplay for the upcoming reboot. Other rumored talent include Ryan Gosling in the title role, Nicolas Winding Refn directing, and Joel Silver and Akiva Goldsman producing. [Heat Vision]
Men in Black 3
If you need further proof that the insane turmoil of the film's production is vastly more entertaining than whatever actually ends up in the movie, well...you may want to check out this bizarre report on Mike Soccio, a onetime Fresh Prince of Bel Air writer and Will Smith's personal script doctor, who apparently none of the movie's other writers even knew was involved in the production. Whatever is going on with this movie, I think we can just assume at this point that it won't end well. [The Hollywood Reporter]
Seeking a Friend for the End of the World
Steve Carell and Keira Knightley are reportedly teaming up in comedy set right before a massive asteroid strike. When news of Earth's impending doom hits, Carell's wife abandons him, and he goes in search of a meaningful connection with an old flame before the devastation begins. On the way, he encounters Keira Knightley's character, who accompanies him on his travels. [The Hollywood Reporter]
Comics creator Todd MacFarlane discusses his ongoing efforts to make a new adaptation of Spawn, this time as a low budget movie with much more creative control. MacFarlane says he's nearly done with the script:
"I'm three quarters through it. I'll finish it and put it on a shelf for about a week. What usually happens is, I come back to it so I can see all the flaws. I do a rewrite and there's a first draft at that point. Then I'll start soliciting comments from people I trust to see if I can get the script into working shape. If I can't, I'm open to someone coming in and helping me with it."
He also pragmatically explained why he's trying to make this for next to no money:
"There's only one way a studio is going to say yes, that's if it's a low-budget movie. To be honest, as a producer, even I wouldn't hire myself to direct a big-budget film. There are smarter people out there. But if you're making it for $10 million to $12 million, you're just going to go get some schmuck director so let me be the schmuck. In this new version, there are no supervillains, archenemies or any of that. It's just a spook movie, something scary going bump in the night. I think I can shoot that for almost next to nothing."
Writer Cory Goodman discusses the influences that went into the movie's post-apocalyptic world:
The Road Warrior has always been a touchstone of mine. I love how George Miller took the elements of the classic western and infused it with a whole new sensibility. It was clearly a setting that I felt worked for Priest. A world that become battered and bruised by a centuries long vampire war would make a fantastic backdrop. One of my favorite aspects of the writing process is 'world-building.' The tricky part is to make sure that the 'world' doesn't overwhelm the mechanics of your story. In the case of Priest, there was always a clear drive for the main character: His pursuit of Lucy. Anytime I found myself getting lost in the 'tinsel' of the world, I forced myself to come back to Priest's central goal and make sure that was the focus of the script.
Apollo 18
Goodman is also the co-writer on Apollo 18. He discusses the challenges of the movie's found footage aesthetic:
It was a fantastic opportunity to get under the hood of a found-footage film and help understand what makes it tick. I quickly discovered there are two elemental concepts that are inherent to any found-footage film: 1.) Have a valid reason why someone would constantly be filming the proceedings, something that the audience can believe and accept. 2.) Keep the story simple. In a typical screenplay you'd have 'twists,' 'callbacks' and all those other terms that get development executives squirming with excitement. If you do that here, it feels too 'movie-ish.' The trick is to find the right balance so that it still feels like you're watching something that actually happened.
The Seventh Son
The medieval-set movie already stars Jeff Bridges as a witch hunter and Julianne Moore as villainous - and possibly supernatural - Mother Malkin. It's now found its younger cast members to replace the departed Jennifer Lawrence and Alex Pettyfer, as relative newcomers Sam Claflin and Alicia Vikander are on board as Bridges's apprentice and Moore's daughter, who may also be a witch. [Variety]
Doctor Strange
Grey's Anatomy star Patrick Dempsey confirmed that he is, in fact, campaigning for the title role in Marvel's eventual adaptation of the comic book sorcerer. Although Thomas Dean Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer are currently working on the script for a film adaptation, Dempsey seems to think the character belongs on TV:
"I'd love to play Doctor Strange. I've been lobbying for that. There's a whole bunch of people [among the Grey's crew] who are into comics and Marvel, too, on the set and they're like, 'Doctor Strange, that's the one you should do.' It would be fantastic. It'd be a great TV show, especially for HBO or something like that. I don't know if I'd necessarily do another show, a drama, that's 24 episodes again. HBO you're at 13 and I think that's much better."
Doctor Who
Here are some set photos showing Matt Smith, Karen Gillan, Arthur Darvill and Alex Kingston all wearing bathrobes on set. Notably, Steven Moffat and Beth Willis were both present for this day of shooting as well. So either they're doing an episode in which all of the characters are in their bathrobes, or they wanted to keep the actors' costumes a secret. In one of the photos, it looks like Smith might be wearing a white dress shirt under his robe. [via WENN.com]
Executive producers Jeff Pinkner and Joel Wyman discuss just why Peter and Olivia didn't recognize each other, despite apparently meeting as kids:
Pinkner: I think that one of the things that we have been keeping in mind, and the viewer should keep in mind: both Joel and I – and I'm sure you're the same way - had really close friends when we were 8 that we can hardly picture in our mind right now. And this was just a chance meeting. Olivia [also] didn't remember meeting Walter, who played a much more significant role in her life. She didn't remember meeting him throughout the first whole season until she was reminded.
Wyman: There's also something to be said that when traumatic experiences, you know, you could bury that stuff. So you bury some of the good stuff along with the bad stuff because some of those good things are triggers for the bad things." What's interesting, says Pinkner, is that earlier in the series, neither fans nor the creative team really noticed that even after years as Walter's test subject, Olivia should have remembered Walter. "And yet, because the Peter and Olivia moment was so romantic and so full of hope, you remember, "Oh, why doesn't she remember that one?" Which says something lovely about us all as people; we want to remember the good things and leave the bad things.

As modern economics began to emerge in the late 18th century the role of money and banks in the economy was quickly identified as a vital sector. It was especially important to establish what was the proper role of government in the issuing of coins and the regulation of interest rates and other banking activities.

Vandalism is vandalism. The destruction of another's personal property is a senseless crime, the perpetrators of which should be punished and forced to pay restitution. Usually.
Vandalism is vandalism. The destruction of another's personal property is a senseless crime, the perpetrators of which should be punished and forced to pay restitution.
That said, the most recent case of vandalism in Fall River — while a destructive invasion and certainly illegal — wasn't senseless. In fact, many may consider the crime justified — a Machiavellian public service — as the victim, himself, is thought of as a vandal by some of his neighbors.
The destruction Friday night is nothing new to Paul Viveros, owner of Oliver's Restaurant at 320 Airport Road, near the entrance to the Industrial Park. He has been battling vandals for more than a year since he erected his controversial "art" display of 14 gleaming white toilets, each sporting a letter that together spelled "Industrial Park."
Viveros has called his display an "artistic monument." While adding an attraction of questionable taste and merit to the Fall River landscape, but one that he said made people smile as they drove down Airport Road, Viveros claimed the project also had a serious, political message.
He said it played upon the fact the city has a landfill as a prominent part of its skyline, the city is thought of as "the bottom of the barrel" to some, state politicians often ignore Fall River and that neighboring towns depend on Fall River's water to "flush" their own waste.
More likely, the porcelain putridity was Viveros' sophomoric attempt to protest the city's refusal to allow nude dancing at Oliver's, a battle he fought for years before the City Council put it to rest in May 2005. It is akin to a homeowner painting his house fluorescent fuschia because he wasn't allowed to construct an illegal addition. It is a mean-spirited act that does nothing but hurt those around him.
Each time vandals struck over the past year, Viveros replaced damaged toilets without reporting the crime, so as not to give the perpetrators any publicity. On Friday, though, the artistic monument was finally flushed, as all 14 toilets were destroyed. Viveros said he is finally throwing in the towel, that he won't replace the estimated $1,200 worth of latrines in front of his still clothing-mandated restaurant.
That is welcome news to other business owners in the Industrial Park, who have characterized the commode collection as an embarrassment that detracts from their businesses. Indeed, the display has been an embarrassment to the entire city since it was dumped on residents in October 2006.
Viveros has been thumbing his nose at Fall Riverites both before and since, refusing to heed their pleas and using their complaints as so much toilet paper. Someone, it appears, has had enough.
Even if Viveros was truly trying to make a statement, as he claims, his is a sad message. He offered a bleak commentary on his own city without suggesting any solutions. Instead, he lashed out at his innocent neighbors and fellow residents. If he truly cared about the city's problems, he wouldn't have contributed to its blight.
While any member of the media is loathe to support any attack on First Amendment rights, common sense and common decency have to come into play. Just because something is legal doesn't mean it should be done.
By the same token, just because something is illegal doesn't mean it shouldn't be done.
Somewhere, Niccolo Machiavelli is smiling.

PHOENIX — The Society of American Business Editors and Writers has named the winners in its 15th annual Best in Business Journalism competition, recognizing top publications and web sites and the best business news reporting during 2009.
The New York Times captured the most awards – 13.
In the entire contest, there were 163 winners out of a total of 796 entries, the second highest entry total in the history of the contest.
The awards will be presented Saturday, March 20, here during SABEW's 47th annual conference.
SABEW started the competition in 1995 to help set standards and recognize role models for outstanding business journalism. It has grown steadily since then with a record 842 entries two years ago.
"Some contend that good business journalism is dying. Judging by the winners of the contest, nothing could be further from the truth," said Greg McCune, SABEW president and Thomson Reuters training manager. "Study this list of winners and you may notice the emergence of a fresh and vigorous online business media, as well as continuing excellence from some traditional media we rely on."
Each winning entry is now being considered for SABEW's Best of the Best awards, honoring the very best of business journalism produced at newspapers, magazines and websites during 2009. Best of the Best winners also will be announced at the March 20 Best in Business awards banquet at the Heard Museum in Phoenix.
The conference will run from March 19-21 at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University's downtown campus. For more information about the conference, including how to register, please contact SABEW at 602-496-7862 or visit sabew.org.
The judges' comments for all winners will be posted soon at sabew.org. Additional information about the conference and SABEW is available on the site as well.
Contest chair Beth Hunt and SABEW fiscal coordinator Vicki Edwards oversaw the competition along with the SABEW staff.
